Willing Slaves

A book written from a slightly feminist perspective (but none the worse for that) looking at how the culture of working excessive hours is damaging our society.
It then shifts to looking at how some companies manage their staff, why this might be causing the recruitment and retention problems and how some other companies are overcoming this.
The book ends (p293) though on a real ray of hope that if those at the top of organisations want to change the culture then they can make a massive difference and they can break the cycle of excessive hours and no life!
